If there’s been one constant over the past couple years it’s the NY Longhorns steamrolling through their opponents.
The 12u squad has been an absolute force on the Long Island baseball scene and they continued their dominance this weekend with a perfect 5-0 weekend, as they outscored their opponents by the score of 68-11.
They captured the championship with a 10-0 run-rule victory over B1000 Seminoles-Saltzman this morning at Cantiague Park. They sent Christian Calabro to the mound and he was his typical dominant self as he went the distance and allowed just one hit.
He also got the scoring started with an RBI double in the first inning off the fence. They added two more runs on a double by Jack McAllister to right center field.
The offense continued to pile in during the second inning as they broke the game open. Vinny Vargas delivered the knockout punch with a two-run single to center field to make it 6-0.
At that point, Calabro settled in to a groove and was lights-out. He struck out the side in the second, two in the third and two in the fourth.
In the bottom of the third, McAllister added an RBI single to make it 8-0 and Luke Lockery‘s RBI double made it 9-0. Needing just one more run for the run-rule to be enforced, they were able to score on a sac fly to right field by Acquaviva.
Overall, the Longhorns had 11 hits and drew 3 walks over the 4 innings. Simply put, they are a high-octane offense that can put up runs with the best of them.
